Louis C.K. Accused of Sexual Misconduct by Five Women

The first accusation dates back to 2002, when comedians Dana Min Goodman and Julia Wolov said C.K. invited them to his hotel room in Aspen,
Colorado, where they'd been performing at a comedy festival. He then allegedly removed all of his clothes and began masturbating. The duo claim they
first thought it was a joke before feeling paralyzed and holding each other. As they ran out of the room, they claim, the women recall C.K. calling
out, "Which one is Dana and which one is Julia?" The women said they later felt intimidated by C.K.'s manager, Dave Becky, who also manages Kevin
Hart, Aziz Ansari and Amy Poehler, saying that he'd contacted their manager to say he was upset about them talking about the incident. Becky denied
threatening anyone to The New York Times.

Personally, I don't care for his comedy routines but his character acting was OK. Er,... "is" I meant!

Is this the new "modern era witch hunt"?? Hollywood is going to have a day of reckoning. But it does not stop there. Politics, religion, sports,
acting, now comedians...

Sex is just a part of life. A "part" only.

These guys (and any gals included), think that any behavior is OK. Not just a little, "I made a drunken pass" but what C.K. did (oh, they are "just
accusations", I know, but even he says he is a creep in his routines), but the physical threat of sex by starting... I lost my train of thought.

Digging up crap from the past on people who will never get justice in court is kind of lame. I mean if he had a chance to defend himself it would be
fine, but everyone will just assume it is true and he is screwed. I just don't know what to think at this point.

Nathanael West, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Raymond Chandler were intrigued, enchanted and often un-romantic about this town, its egos and
insecurities, its strivers and connivers. They knew of scandal, and saw Los Angeles and Hollywood as neighborhoods and private lives reaching into one
another and stretching through canyons toward the ocean, on and on, like the flash and tremor of a dream. But lurking beneath, somewhere deep in the
earth, a fault slips into a brokenness waiting to rise. Nobody knows where or when it will strike.

My world will be shattered and life will no longer be worth living.

Not enough people fighting and dying in wars these days. People wouldn't get all riled up about seeing somebody's peen if they spent a few years
fighting and watching people get torn to shreds by military machinery. If this kind of thing really does make you not want to live, then perhaps you
are truly too delicate and fragile to live in this harsh, cruel world.

"Pleasuring himself during a phone call with a female comic, all without consent."

And this was last week or years and years ago? At some point you just need to write it off as a undesirable situation that happen in your life if it
wasn't bad enough to do something about it when it actually happened.

I'll leave that those familiar with his routine. But I seem to remember him making rape jokes. Could be some other comedian. If he was a "champion"
then it would modus operandi to hide in plain sight (like HW in his women right's march)... right before you take off your pants!!

We all have those. I imagine thousands of people -- men and women -- in small towns across America saying, "Yeah, well I got diddled a while back but
I'm not a Hollywood entertainer so nobody cares and I just have to chalk it up as another piece of crap that reality has hit me with."

Yeah... I kinda stopped watching his show (that had some great moments) when he did that "sexual assaulty" bit with the foreign woman in an elevator,
if remembering correctly.... it was simply too "rapey" and it sorta ruined him for me.

He comes across as someone who's very self aware and tries to do the right thing, but the focus on "creepy" sexuality in his act does make one wonder
how revealing it really is/was.

Too bad... but mainstream male culture has been forgiving of "rapey" behavior forever, so it needs a "makeover." To those wondering "why now, and not
last month" for these accusations, it's human nature. The dam broke and now it's "okay" to tell people about the sexual slights, assaults and general
dehumanizing of females in all facets of society.

Many artists who were good at their art, but were also part of the "pig culture," as well as many, many regular guys, will be exposed for poor
behavior ... and good. It's not difficult to be polite to women and to make sure sexual themes are appropriate. Like, if you can get someone fired or
have any professional power over them, then just don't.

I hope this brings a change for the better, as it can't be much worse than it has been for women.

I want my 5 minutes of fame, would one of my old girlfriends please come forward. How about that blackjack dealer in Reno, or that working girl from
Cuba? Please anyone, I think I should be a bad guy too. Everyone else is!

Sarcasm above.

Don't you think this BS is getting old? Anyone who's had a fling in the last 30 years is dragging out the trash. No class, Hollweird is losing its
collective mind. I think it's a something in the water or a byproduct of realities tv.
